DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Office of Thrift Supervision 

Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended 

AGENCY: Office of Thrift Supervision, 

Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed alterations to 

six Privacy Act systems of records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended, the Department of the 

Treasury, Office of Thrift Supervision 

(OTS), gives notice of proposed 

alternations to six Privacy Act systems 

of records, as follows: OTS .002—

Correspondence/Correspondence 

Tracking; OTS .003—Consumer 

Complaints; OTS .006—Employee 

Locator File; OTS .008—Employee 

Training Database; OTS .011—

Positions/Budget; OTS .012—Payroll/ 

Personnel Systems & Payroll Records. 

DATES: Comments must be received no 

later than May 18, 2007. The proposed 

altered systems will become effective 

May 29, 2007, unless the OTS receives 

comments which cause reconsideration 

of this action. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to 

the Office of Chief Counsel, Office of 

Thrift Supervision, 1700 G Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20552. To arrange to 

see the comments, see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dirk 

S. Roberts, Special Counsel, at (202) 

906–7631 or by electronic mail, 

dirk.roberts@ots.treas.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OTS 

currently maintains nine Privacy Act 

systems of records. Notices describing 

these systems of records were most 

recently published at 70 FR 41085, July 

15, 2005. The OTS proposes to add two 

routine uses to each of the six systems 

identified above authorizing disclosures 

in connection with litigation, as follows. 

Information may be disclosed in civil, 

criminal, administrative or arbitration 

proceedings before a court, magistrate, 

administrative or arbitration tribunal in 

the course of pre-trial discovery, 

motions, trial, appellate review, or in 

settlement negotiations, when OTS, the 

Director of OTS, an OTS employee, the 

Department of Treasury, the Secretary of 

Treasury, or the United States is a party 

or has an interest in or is likely to be 

affected by such proceeding and an OTS 

attorney determines that the information 

is arguably relevant to that proceeding. 

To assure that the agency and its 

employees receive appropriate 

representation in legal proceedings, 

relevant information may be disclosed 

to the Department of Justice, private 

counsel, or an insurance carrier for the 

purpose of defending an action or 

seeking legal advice. 

In addition, OTS proposes to add two 

additional routine uses to one system 

identified above, OTS .012 Payroll/ 

Personnel Systems & Payroll Records, 

authorizing disclosure relating to 

garnishment orders, as follows: 

Information may be disclosed to respond to 

government authorities in connection with 

garnishment proceedings. Information may 

be disclosed to private creditors for the 

purpose of garnishment of wages of an 

employee if the debt has been reduced to a 

judgment. 

The report of the altered systems of 

records, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the 

Privacy Act, has been submitted to the 

Committee on Government Reform of the 

House of Representatives, the Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of 

Management and Budget, pursuant to 

Appendix I to OMB Circular A–130, ‘‘Federal 

Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining 

Records About Individuals,’’ dated November 

30, 2000. 

The six proposed altered systems of 

records, described above, are published in 

their entirety below.
